thanks gents i keep meaning to get a bit more detailed with this thread but i never think of taking pics im probably going to spray the spokes of the meisters to match the blitz but that can wait till i take it off the road later in the year

[Darren]

right after being inspired by Hachi's awesomely detailed build thread i decided to put a bit more effort into this thread so fitted the recaros yesterday only 15 months after getting them but better late than never i guess

loaded up and off to the workshop who says r32's aren't practical


first off out with the old seats having one of these makes this part so much quicker



forgive the state of the interior its been daily driven for the last few weeks





and out



right so im not shure what brand the rails are they have some jap writing and a for a s13 so they will need a bit of adjustment


seat off to see how much it needs


not much so i chopped that foot off the frame along with the seatbelt receiver bracket as i want to mount the original receiver on the seat as the old seats had







time to break out the chopsaw i fucking hate this thing its almost impossible to get a straight cut with this worn out piece of shit but it will do till the new bandsaw arrives


action shot!!


in position for tacking i also drilled a hole and plug welded the new foot to the frame for extra peace of mind


at this point the welder started acting up so i just forgot about taking pics but i welded up the frame primed and painted it and moved on to mounting the receiver to the seat


then i moved on to the drivers side which i decided to do differently i cut the welds and split the rear off the floor frame instead off remaking the foot




bolt to the floor to mark up the new position and weld er up





the passenger side one finished up you can see where i mounted the original receiver there should be no problem with it here the rails should be strong enough to take the load but i dont intend on finding out lol


and drivers side


and finished took a bit longer than a thought but at least its done and they look the part ans are super comfy



so opinions welcome more would you like to see more or less detail or more pics let me know id hate to think i was boring anyone lol

Haha glad to be of some inspiration. Cool update, perfect amount of detail. Pretty good reference for adapting an S13 rail for R32s.

Seats look awesome.

6 cylinder folk need to stick together!

Im digging the gauges and the steering wheel!

Oh and by the way how are the Recaros sitting?
I have my Recaro mounted to a Bride rail which is supposed to be low but still feels to high to me!
